10% discount for knowitall.ch readers on all translations booked before end of June 2016
Given the highly international environment that we live and work in, it is perhaps surprising that we don’t get more recommendations for translation companies from our readers. Although many are multilingual, speaking 2 or 3 different languages fluently, there can be few readers who have the level of expertise required to provide the perfect translation of a complex legal contract, financial agreement or medical document.
So we were pleased to receive at Know-it-all passport recently a very positive recommendation for a translation agency that was set up in Switzerland at the beginning of last year. Called SwissTranslate, the agency offers the complete range of linguistic solutions for a number of highly specialised business sectors including law, communications and marketing, finance, luxury goods, healthcare, international organizations, and technology.
With its main office in Geneva, SwissTranslate works with a dedicated team of senior translators who have experience in the translation of contracts, resumes, diplomas, corporate communications, presentations, website content, status, administration documents and regulatory reports, indeed just about every possible use of the written word that you can imagine!
All translation professionals are fully screened and evaluated on an on-going basis, and many are selected for their specialism in a particular field. With supervision from senior proof readers, the company’s network of around 600 translators is able to manage both small and large translation projects across 40 different languages, working within very tight deadlines, including the weekend.
When clients request a translation from SwissTranslate, they can expect to receive not just a written translation, but also a document laid out to their specific requirements. This is particularly helpful in those cases where translations need to fit into a particular layout such as a marketing brochure – clients are able to see at a glance whether their translation will fit the required space.
Two main services are offered at SwissTranslate, namely: Translations in a specialised field into the mother tongue of the translator (including "Sworn" translations); and Proofreading where Senior proofreaders will carefully check over documents that have already been translated by the client to ensure that the content is accurate and complies with the source document. Prices are very competitive and are based on 3 main criteria, namely the chosen language combination, the field concerned, and the number of words. According to Account Manager, Giorgio Ungarelli, it is possible to receive a free quote for your translation in less than 30 minutes.
Indeed one client, Anne-Christine Duss, Founder and Director of the communications agency, atelierssud, told knowitall.ch, “The SwissTranslate working team always provides us an extremely helpful and responsive service (detailed quote in less than 30 min.). Available to discuss current or future projects, they always deliver the highest-quality translations in many fields of specialisation.”
Asked what makes their company special compared to other similar translation agencies in the region, Giorgio told knowitall.ch, ‘SwissTranslate was the brainchild of two friends, Adrien Lamaj and Antoine Lavialle, passionate about languages, who had international careers spanning USA, UK, Switzerland, Spain, and France, and who wanted to combine renowned Swiss quality with the translation needs of companies and individuals. Who could have a better grasp of the nuances of Swiss law and the habits and customs of federal bureaucracy, than a Swiss translator, or one who has lived in Switzerland for many years?”
He continued, “The confidentiality of documents is a priority at SwissTranslate, so we ask our translators to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Our approach is not confined to a simple translation. We have a service culture, built on personalised relationships that only trust and confidentiality can ensure. We want our clients to feel close to us - Indeed our project managers will meet you anywhere in Switzerland! We also offer our services outside Switzerland and provide both simultaneous and consecutive interpreting services for those companies that require it.”
To encourage more people to use their translation services, SwissTranslate is offering knowitall.ch readers a 10% discount on all translations with a minimum of 500 words booked through the agency before end of June 2016. Just mention this article when you make your booking to claim your discount.
